No. 732 
R-W Ideal Elevator Door Hangers 


For CoMBINATION SWING AND SLIDE Doors 














For Doors WEIGHING UP TO 300 PoUNDS 


Used when stationary door is hinged, and it is desirable to swing both doors open so as to use the 
full width of elevator opening, yet not practical to swing the transom bar to which track is attached. It 
is usually more satisfactory to arrange to swing the transom bar if possible. Fixtures are reversible 
and can be used on right or left-hand doors. The top of the door is pivoted to the hanger bar and an 
ordinary flush bolt with round pin which is lowered into a hole in the iron saddle serves as a bottom 
pivot. Care must be taken to locate the center of the flush bolt exactly below and in line with the pivot 
in the top fixture. When the front end of the door is disconnected from the hanger bar to swing doors 
open, the latch is hooked over the hold back bracket which prevents the hanger from sliding forward, 
as shown in the large illustration above. This forms a positively located top pivot and prevents the front 
end of door from dragging on the floor while both doors are being swung out of opening. The small 
illustration above shows the door latched to hanger bar for operating the sliding door. 

Furnished with apron attachment for wood or kalamein doors or plate attachment for metal doors, as 
shown on opposite page. 

A guide for the front end of door is regularly furnished, but the flush bolt is not included in a set of 
fixtures. Finish, flat black, regular; other finishes furnished on application. Packed with screws for at- 
taching to doors. In ordering state: 


First — Width of sliding door. Fourth — Exact thickness of sliding door. 

Second — Width of sliding door opening. Fifth — Whether attached to metal or wood. 

Third — Distance between jambs. Sixth — Whether metal or wood doors.

R-W Ideal Elevator Door Closer 
and Check 


ATTRACTIVE IN APPEARANCE—EASILY OPERATED 








The automatic closing of elevator doors is being demanded more and more as preventive of acci- 
dents caused by failure of the operator to close the door. Doors are always closed when the car leaves 
the floor. The Ideal closer performs this work positively and easily, eliminates the objectionable noise 
and slamming of the doors. The long lever handle starts the doors easily. “(he spring cannot be over- 
wound; is extra long, insuring long life; acts positively to close the door, regardless of position of arms. 
Doors cannot be opened from corridor side, except with a key furnished for that purpose, if desired. 
Can be used in connection with any standard make of hanger; single, two-speed, three-speed doors, doors 
in pairs or combination swing-out. When used with combination swing-out doors, the arm may be 
detached at the Door Plate stud. All that is necessary is to lift handle up as shown in dotted lines 
ie iow ea paceslae 

The spring and checking mechanisms are separate, and can readily be regulated independent of each 


other to suit the varying conditions of the doors. 


Can be attached to the rear stile of the door, thus permitting the use of shorter arms. These short 
arms, together with the fact that the back arms are double, built in a box-like section, produces a very 
rigid fixture. 


The maximum projection of the closer from face of the door is 14 inches. 
Made right or left-hand; illustration above shows right hand. 


Finish, regular, dead black, polished brass handle. Other finishes can be furnished on application. 
Packed, wrapped, in box with screws. Weight, 12 pounds each. 


We furnish device to unlock from outside if desired. 
We furnish device to hold doors open if desired.

In the production of the R-W Door Closer and Check the 
old, time-tried principle in checking mechanism by the use of 
crank and pitman, has been improved and simplified. Nearly 
all troubles with door checks are caused by imperfect checking mechanism and use of improper mate- 
rials. In R-W checks all working parts used in the checking cylinder are made of steel drop forgings. 


The Spring — Broken springs — broken because wound up beyond safety limit — cause a great deal 
of trouble with door checks. It is impossible to over-wind the spring in the R-W Check. While the 
tension of the spring can be adjusted to suit conditions by the pawl and tooth-dog, the limited number 
of teeth on the tooth-dog makes over-winding impossible. The spring is mounted in the spring cups, 
which can be removed if desired without taking check off the door. The spring power is a unit in itself. 


Leak-Proof — On account of the original construction, the R-W Check is leak-proof. ‘The spindle 
stufing box is above the liquid level. Below the packing around the spindle there is an air chamber with 
a proper by-pass, preventing capillary attraction of the liquid along the spindle. The liquid, a non-freez- 
ing oil, in which the main working parts are immersed, has high lubricating qualities. It contains no 
alcohol. ‘There is an abundance of liquid in the check. 


Reversible Feature —'The R-W Check can be changed from right to left by simply swinging the arm 
from one side to the other, the pawl that engages the toothed dog being so placed as to engage on either 
side. The amount of friction when used on a right or left-hand door is precisely the same in either case. 
These features make the Richards-Wilcox the only truly reversible check on the market. 


_ General Features — The working parts are made of gray iron, malleable iron and steel drop forg- 
ing, machined to a perfect fit, and are interchangeable. 

_ No special wrenches or tools are required in assembling or winding up the spring. A screw driver 
is all that is necessary to take the check apart. The check can go together only the right way, making 
assembling mistakes impossible.

R-W Double Acting Checking Floor Hinge

DouBLE Swinc Doors 


hh 


{

TIE ha 





The R-W Double Acting Checking Floor Hinge, the best device on the market for the control of 
double swing doors. 


A combined spring and check, placed in the floor. Not necessary to use spring butts, as the pintle of 
the hinge supports the door at the bottom and our improved top pivot at the top. They hold and con- 
trol the door perfectly. “here are no projections to mar the beauty of the door. 


The actual checking of the door is accomplished by a remarkably ingenious mechanism. ‘The con- 
trol is perfect, bringing the door to a gradual stop at the center. 


The door will stand open at right angles if desired. No catch or latch is required, all that is neces- 
sary is to push the door over the locking point where it is held automatically until released by pulling the 
door, when it will close in the usual manner. Will not stop in open position when in ordinary use. 


The spring is of the compression type, well-known for durability and reliability. All of the working 
parts are immersed in non-freezing checking oil, thereby keeping all parts well lubricated. 


The speed of the door at the closing point may be regulated by the use of a screw driver on the check- 
ing pin through the brass cover plate. A slight turn to the right or left will accomplish the required 
regulation of the closing action. 


The R-W hinges are regularly furnished with solid brass cover plates. 


Dimensions: 24 inches deep, 4 inches wide, 84 inches long, center of hinge pintle 12 inches from 
the jamb. 


Packed, one in wood box with all necessary screws and directions for applying. 
Weight, 12 pounds.
